A very clear and simple summary of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’. The accompanying video is guaranteed to enable students understand the plot & timing of events of the play. Suitable for all age groups. I would be grateful if you could please leave a comment.

This lesson makes the clear distinction between literal and figurative language.

This lesson starter makes clear what a metaphor is and can be used with most age groups.

Eva Smith never appears on stage in J B Priestley’s An Inspector Calls but the entire drama centres around her. In the play, she is referred to as Eva Smith, Daisy Renton and Mrs Birling. This was an excellent lesson in which the students imagine they are Eva Smith and what they would say to each character who contributed towards her tragic downfall. I would be grateful if you could please leave a comment.
